Chapter 78: Granted Marriage
When everyone was seated, Emperor Jing of Wei just happened to come over. Seeing that it was getting late, he immediately announced the start of the hunt.
There is a tradition of drawing the bow in every hunting trip, that is, letting Emperor Jing of Wei draw the bow and shoot an arrow. If the arrow hits the center of the bull's eye, it is a good sign. This first arrow is the highest honor.
When Cai Quan handed the bow and arrow specially used by Emperor Jing of Wei to him, Emperor Jing of Wei said, "Today, let the prince shoot the bow for me."
Everyone was shocked. What did Emperor Jing of Wei mean by this?
Back then, when Emperor Jing of Wei ascended the throne, he appointed Su Jin as the crown prince after he crowned the queen. Some time ago, the queen fell from power, and everyone was wondering whether the crown prince would also fall?
But the fact that Emperor Jing of Wei asked Su Jinwei to draw the bow, does it mean that he still has high hopes for Su Jinwei?
For a moment, many people's minds were in a tangle of thoughts, wondering whether they had offended the prince during this period of time.
Su Chenyu was not shocked at all. After all, after a slap in the face, there should always be a sweet treat in return.
The bow and arrow had been delivered to Su Jinwei, but he was still a little dazed. He couldn't believe that Emperor Jing of Wei actually gave the first arrow to him.
"Your Highness, please."
Cai Quan's voice reminded Su Jinwei. Joy overwhelmed everything. Su Jinwei picked up the bow and arrow, stepped into the center of the field, drew the bow and arrow, aimed at the bull's eye, and shot an arrow.
Without a doubt, it hit the bull's eye.
There was applause in the audience, and many people said "good" repeatedly, but how much of their words were sincere was only known to them.
When Su Jinwei put down the bow, he still felt a little dizzy.
Emperor Jing of Wei smiled: "As expected of you, you are the crown prince."
Listening to Emperor Jing of Wei's praise, everyone had different thoughts. Why did the emperor praise Su Jinwei so much every day?
"Princess Rongruo!" The next second, Emperor Jing of Wei changed the subject, "During this period, I have been thinking about the marriage, and only the crown prince can match you. On this day, in front of many royal relatives and all the civil and military officials in the court, I will grant you a marriage with the crown prince Su Jinwei."
Rong Ruo was naturally dissatisfied to hear that his marriage was decided by Emperor Jing of Wei with just a few words, but Rong Zhang immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
With just one sentence, Rong Ruo and Su Jinwei's marriage was settled.
Su Jinwei hadn't recovered from his joy just now when he heard the bad news, but at this time he could only smile: "Thank you, father!"
Su Chenyu's eyes flashed with sarcasm. There is no such thing as a free gift in this world. Su Jinwei probably thought that Emperor Jing of Wei would not grant him and Rong Ruo a marriage immediately, so there was still room for maneuver. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jing of Wei completely caught him off guard. This marriage was hastily decided, and he had no chance to regret it.
Everyone stood up and congratulated this arranged marriage.
But the two people who were granted marriage were both unwilling.
How ironic.
After everyone sat down again, Emperor Jing of Wei looked at Rong Ruo and said, "I heard that Princess Rong Ruo is good at riding and shooting. Why don't you show us someday?"
Rong Ruo was a flamboyant person, so he stood up upon hearing this and said, "Bring my horse here."
When she stood in the middle of the field, she suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if there are any women in Dayu who can ride horses? I would like to compete with them."
